Homecoming is in full swing, complete with various events including a bonfire, pep rally, football game, and dance. Along with these events,  a newly elected Homecoming king and queen will grace the half-time football festivities. The following seniors were nominated for this year’s king and queen:

Rachel Marion

Q: Were you surprised that you were nominated? Why?

A: “Yes, because I’ve never been nominated before and it was a complete surprise.  It shocked me, but made me very happy.”

Q: What is your favorite activity throughout the whole week? Why?

A: “The pep rally because it’s full of school spirit and competitions. We get to sit in front of the whole school while being honored.”

Erica King

Q: Were you surprised that you were nominated? Why?

A: “I was a little surprised to be nominated for my senior year and I’m very excited. It made me very happy and I really want to ride in the convertible.”

Q: What is your favorite activity throughout the whole week? Why?

A: “The football game because I get to be dolled up and see my boyfriend dressed up, as well.”

Kylee Hines

Q: Were you surprised that you were nominated? Why?

A: “I was, just because I felt like I was a part of the homecoming parade last year where I was crowned DECA queen. I was also on the ballet last year to win homecoming queen, but I didn’t win. This year I was shocked to be nominated again because I feel they should’ve given someone else the spotlight.”

Q: What is your favorite activity throughout the whole week? Why?

A: “it’s definitely the pep rally. You get to get out of class and people are so funny. It’s very fun, and you get to sit with your friends and laugh at other people while they want to make a fool of themselves.  I hope someone streaks to carry on the tradition because our class is the last to have ever seen or heard about it.”

Will Brewer

Q: What is the best thing about being nominated? Why?

A: “Knowing that my peers think about me enough to nominate me for court.  My girlfriend, Rachel Marion, is also on the court and there is a chance that we get to win together.”

Q: How would you react if you were to win homecoming king? Why?

A: “I would be pretty excited. I’d probably hug my mom because she’s supporting me and I would fist bump everybody.”

Mark Rogerson

Q: What is the best thing about being nominated? Why?

A: “I’m excited to ride in the convertible. I’ve never been in one before and it would be cool to win with Erica King, my girlfriend. We will be dressed up and we have only done that once before, so the experience will be great.”

Q: How would you react if you were to win homecoming king? Why?

A: “I would be really excited, it shows the whole school knows who I am and that they like me.”

Tyreek Hawley

Q: What is the best thing about being nominated? Why?

A: “Everybody would get to know who I am and I will be able to ride in an expensive car. I’m also excited to have a chance to win king.”

Q: How would you react if you were to win homecoming king? Why?

A: “I would be really excited and cheesing mad hard. I’d take pictures with everybody on the field and as well as waving to everyone around me.”
